Premio Combat Prize

Breathless (description work)
Last two years I’m working at the serial SPHERES, on the personal space, of the inner and outer world. Inspired by the German philosopher Sloterdijk: “The demand for our WHERE is more meaningful than ever, more meaningful than those to us WHAT. We must focus on the place that people create to be who they are. This place I have given the name ATMOSPHERE. Spheres are space creations as immune function. .” Peter Sloterdijk, from Spheres 2003
Since 2012 I have painted the ‘Spheres’, inspired by the German philosopher Peter Sloterdijk. The Sphere (company, environment, place, future) is a personal and important place that creates and defines the own identity’. In what sphere are you? Through color I catch the different Sphere I notice. I research the tension between the perception of the person inside and the outside world. What image to follow? Color or drawing? Front or back focus? Drawn or painted, which is visible? Is the Reality of a SPHERE not always double-interpretable?
Breathless is a definition of an atmosphere. An atmosphere as the personal perception of time, place and expectations. SPHERES are about the personal view of the inner and outer space of today’s western society. What’s happening outside and insight. So is the meaning of breathless as well positive as negative. In Breathless1 the female journalist is looking at the viewer telling with her look how breathless the hole Syria problem is. She is strong and the word conscience. If you look good you discover that the soldiers in the background are weeping.
In Breathless 2+3, the meaning of breathless, is from the inner space of a happy couple who is cocooned. They are breathless , listening and absorbing information from the outside world in their own personal inner world. Also breathless. How different can a word be, how different the meaning of the atmosphere. It’s the color of the atmosphere who defends the meaning of the place, time and expectation. We are defining the atmosphere through our perception, we are making our reality.
I work with the power of color, creating a two dimensional space, in which everyone discovers his own personal sphere.
